I am soon going to be a member of the lsjT crowd, I am building my own kit, and I wanted to ask if the precision 5557 turbo is a good turbo for me to go with. For now I am on a stock motor and I'm looking to be in the 370hp range. I want a turbo that will make my car fun to drive on the streets as well as the occasional track visit but also a turbo that I can have the option for more power if I decide to build my motor. I'm just looking for thoughts, comments, concerns, and suggestions on the precision 5557. I am wanting to order a turbo either later tonight or tomorrow
he ran a 5557e, laid down above 440whp, very sick car, I now have parts from that car.
l8r,
PD

Do you happen to have the install instructions for the LSJ engine, zzp only has the LNF. Im a little confused on the intake manifold, like the hole welded behind it and also how the pulley tensioner goes on. thank you!
Does anyone know how to install the idler pully and the intake manifold hoses for the lsj swap? IM stuck and need help!

My trans is now broke again, as well. (#5) I haven't shifted this tranny hard one time since it was new. 15k miles and the tob went wiping out my clutch and destroying my syncro's. Put a new tob in last weekend and thats when i realized driving it for the short amount of time that I did when it was going bad destroyed my synchronizers. I thought the squealing I was hearing was the tob turns out it was the clutch.
I love how the upgraded tob feels tho. Very nice upgrade from zzp imo
Oh yeah and there was s **** ton of metal shavings on my drain plug. yay
